Hello everyone! I hope your week has been wonderful so far. :) The past few days have been fabulous for the Love and Splendor team. We kicked off our 2011 season on Saturday and it turned out to be another flawless event. The look was fresh, understated elegance with lots of white dutch tulips and powder blue accents. I can’t wait to share it with you when I get the professional pics! Here’s a peek into how I spent the weekend!

Saturday’s Team: Anna, me, and Jen. Love these girls! Michelle: we missed you!! <3

Stunning view from the Terranea Resort in Palos Verdes, the setting for Saturday’s event. I love working at this property; many thanks to Leslie, Jill, Jackson and co. for all of their help.

I made friends with one of the ringbearers… arguably one of the most adorable kids I have EVER seen. He was extremely camera shy, so you’ll have to wait for the professional pics to see for yourself. A mohawk on a five year old?? Love it! (And yes, I do work in my 4″ heels!)


A sweet blog reader, Sally, sent me the Urban Decay Naked Palette (sold out everywhere!) and one of the new MAC Sheen Supreme lipsticks in ‘Ultra Darling.’ LOVE and am so touched by her sweetness.


And speaking of sweet deliveries — the amazing Jaclyne of Heavenly Blooms sent me this STUNNING bunch of flowers this week. Erik can tell you I was rendered speechless by them! Parrot tulips are some of my very favorite blooms… Thank you again, Jaclyne! You are spoiling me! Can’t wait to work with you on two fabulous weddings this year. :)
To top it all off, I completed my jury service on Monday! Now that the trial has concluded, I can tell you it was a civil case — a woman suing a hotel for a slip and fall. Her case was extremely weak, so our vote was unanimous that the defendant was not liable. I’m free from duty for another 12 months! :) I definitely don’t mind jury duty, but it sure threw my schedule for a loop. Lucky for me the judge was super sweet and dismissed us all early (after I wrote him a note) on Friday so I could make it to my Palos Verdes rehearsal on-time!!
Hope you all have a great afternoon! Coming soon to the blog: an over-the-top and beyond gorgeous save-the-date project I completed last week! :)
xoxo, Angel
